Description
An enhancement has been made to the invoice delivery details on Debtor records to support a new invoice delivery method of eInvoicing.
...
This enhancement facilitates delivery of invoices and credit notes through eInvoicing by allowing a debtor’s invoice delivery details to be configured to indicate that the debtor wishes to be invoiced via eInvoicing.
Configuration
Before you configure a debtor to receive invoices via eInvoicing, please be aware of the following:
A debtor can only receive eInvoices if the debtor is assigned to the country of Australia or New Zealand.
Ensure that you check with the debtor that the debtor is capable of receiving eInvoices.
Some fields that are normally optional on the Debtor record become mandatory when eInvoicing is set as the delivery method for any set of Invoice Details for the debtor and therefore you must ensure that you have provided a value in those fields otherwise you will be unable to save the Debtor record. The fields are:
all of the following fields under Billing > Debtor > Debtor Entry > Contact Details:
Address 1

State (only applicable if Country is set to Australia)
Post Code
